Caught in the Act

Have your kids ever caught you doing The Deed? Yes, I'm talking about THAT Deed.

One night, my 7-yr-old knocked at the door.

"Mommy? What are you doing?"

Crap. This child was supposed to be asleep.

What do you say in that situation? Do you give them the facts of life? Do you tell them that you were just wrestling? Giving back rubs?

The latter is what I settled on. Okay so maybe I'm a coward, but I believe in age-appropriate sex education, okay? And imo SEVEN is way too young to learn the mechanics of the birds and bees. Get off my case already! Oh... you weren't on my case? Well, just in case you were getting ready to get on my case, just don't even go there, kay? Are we understanding one another?

I'm glad we settled that little, uh... misunderstanding. Ahem.

Anyway.

Not too many mornings ago, the same 7-year old said to me, "Mommy, next time when you give daddy a back rub, could you be a little quieter?"

I'm starting to wonder if the cost of building a soundproof chamber in my bedroom would offset the therapy this child will probably need someday.

Okay, so - don't ask me why I was drawn to this post in particular!! (Maybe we are all a little curious about sex - I was under the impression you were going to talk about someone ELSE!!)However - I'm sad no one told me this was allowed... We went without sex for almost two years while Joel was in the Bishopric! ;P

Too funny! I think Im cured of all the stress and anxiety Ive been carrying around! LOL! 7 yr olds say the best things!

So i live in LDS campus housing nicked name "the baby factory!" where after 8pm it is "Quiet Hours"..... needless to say... its no where close to quiet and my seven year old is always saying, "Mom, they're (upstairs neighbors) jumping on their beds again" ... squeaky bead are the worse! LOL!
